Question

The method of dividing the project scope into many parts that, when combined, would constitute the project deliverable is called _____: a. rolling wave planning b. decomposition c. collect requirements d. requirements traceability

Answer 1

Answer: b. decomposition

Explanation:

Decomposition is a project management technique that takes the entire project scope and all project deliverables and breaks them down into smaller components which makes it easy to manage.

However, decomposition may lead to more work without much value for the time spent and inefficient use of resources which will eventually lead to decreased work efficiency.

It involves:

1. Gathering of information on project deliverables to evaluate any related risks

2. Start the breakdown process at the highest level.

3. Decompose the higher levels into lower level detailed components.

4. Verify the degree of decomposition of the work if it is necessary and sufficient.
